'For Us' in the Bible

My little children (believers, dear ones), I am writing you these things so that you will not sin and violate God’s law. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us] with the Father: Jesus Christ the righteous [the upright, the just One, who conforms to the Father’s will in every way—purpose, thought, and action].

'Born of him!' Think what a love the Father has for us, in letting us be called 'children of God!' That is what we are. The world does not recognize us? That is simply because it did not recognize him.

As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

and we receive from Him whatever we ask because we [carefully and consistently] keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight [habitually seeking to follow His plan for us].

God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

Here is what a complete love will do for us: It will give us boldness in [facing] the judgment day, because the way Jesus acts [regarding love] is the way we should act [while] in this world.

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

And this is [how we can express] boldness in our relationship with God: Whatever we ask [of God, in prayer], so long as it is in harmony with His will for us, [we know] He hears our request.
